So I’ve been neglecting my guitar posts, but I am pleased to say, not the guitar itself. I now have calluses on my fingers (yay!) so it doesn’t hurt anymore. My wrist seems to be getting used to it…always good…

The talent show didn’t go as well as my guitar practise. See I was singing with someone and when we practised she was going really slowly, so I said “Please speed up a bit” and she did, but she didn’t hear me say it was good, so when we performed it she went even faster, and as a result I lost place and got out of time, I stopped and said “You’re going to fast” and she said “You said speed up”. So that was a little communication error on our part, but apart from that the actual playing went really well.

I am trying to get a video, but it’s really dark and I don’t want a dark video, so I’ll try and find a nice place to do that…

Ouch, I have a blister on my finger, I’ve never had a blister before. I got it because I was playing a song and lots of the chords have to higher strings on them, the smaller ones, and the ones that feel like they’re cutting your finger open. And now it really hurts to type with that finger (so I’m not), play guitar with it, (which I am) and just about anything.

Still playing hard though, practise makes perfect right? Haven’t practised today yet, but I’ll do that in a minute.

I’m not proud to say, I didn’t really practise much over the last four days. I went to stay with friends, and I’m sad to say, my friend wasn’t really into practising music. And we went out quite a lot.

So there’s not much to say, exept I feel awful, so I’m gonna work really hard. And now I’ve said it there’s no going back. Cause you can all remind me of my promise if I try and go back!

Hey guys. Here’s the next Guitar diary for you, I hope I’m not boring you!!

After ten minutes of playing it’s not just my fingers that hurt but my wrist, having curled around a guitar for ten minutes, seems to have offended it in some way.

After yesterday, the happiness I felt, it not hurting and all, that’s been burst like a balloon at a party. I feel like some small kid just sat on me. Kinda depressed, like the work I’m putting in is being flushed down the toilet.

My fingers hurt, and I’m typing one handed, not an easy job! Trying not to cause anymore pain…

I’ve practiced all the chords I can remember, yes really I did. My fingers don’t hurt!!! Yay me! They tingle, like just after pins and needles, but it’s just tingle…OK now it hurts, typing away a couple of minuets after practise, but it doesn’t hurt that much.

I was feeling a bit down trodden, the presure of it all getting to me…as it does. So I took a walk to the beach, wrote a song…or at least the words to one. And when I got back I felt a lot better. Sat down and practised.

I still don’t have a new pick, having lost my old one, as I walked back I had a look in our failure of a music shop, and it was closed, but they do sell picks, big packs of them, for those of us who misplace the tiny little things.

So round up. The presure got to me a bit, but I’m ok after a walk to see the sea. My fngers are getting better. I’ll try and post some pics of my guitar.

I’ve bought a guitar, or rather my Mum bought it ;). I’m trying to pass grade one by the end of November to raise money and awareness for a charity…

I’m gonna right a blog post everyday. I’ll put them in a new category called “My charity guitar” and write you a diary entry everyday…hopefully. I’ll try and write as honestly as I can. About how I’m feeling, the things I’m doing, how much I did…etc.
